Supplementation of Stingless Bee Honey from Heterotrigona itama Improves Antiobesity Parameters in High-Fat Diet Induced Obese Rat Model

Table 2

A distribution of pre- and post-mean body weight, mean BMI, and percentage of body weight gain in each study group of induced-obese SD rats after daily administration of stingless bee honey (SBH) for a period of six weeks.

Groups	Mean Body Weight (g) ± SEM		Mean BMI ± SEM		Percentage of Body Weight Gain () ± SEM
	Pre-intervention	Post-intervention	Pre-intervention	Post-intervention
Group 1; (ND)	350.6 ± 3.1	468.1 ± 3.6	0.62 ± 0.006	0.73 ± 0.009	33.58 ± 1.2
Group 2; (Obese rats; HFD)	411.6 ± 7.7	549.9 ± 11.7	0.72 ± 0.006	0.83 ± 0.013	33.73 ± 2.8
Group 3; (Obese rats; HFD+1000 mg/kg SBH)	443.6 ± 8.2	497.3 ± 19.2	0.72 ± 0.010	0.73 ± 0.019	11.98 ± 3.1
Group 4; (Obese rats; HFD+750 mg/kg SBH)	471.7 ± 5.1	460.3 ± 13.6	0.72 ± 0.007	0.69 ± 0.016	-2.30 ± 2.9
Group 5; (Obese rats; HFD+500 mg/kg SBH)	453.6 ± 2.6	504.3 ± 21.6	0.71 ± 0.006	0.73 ± 0.018	11.14 ± 4.6
Group 6; (Obese rats; HFD+ orlistat)	463.0 ± 5.5	405.9 ± 6.6	0.73 ± 0.008	0.65 ± 0.009	-12.36 ± 0.6

Results are presented as means ± SEM, n = 7.
Values are statistically significant at p < 0.05.
Note: significantly different compared to normal control rats (group 1); significantly different compared to control obese rats (group 2).
ND: normal diet; HFD: high-fat diet; SBH: stingless bee honey.
